I-94 heading to the little regional airport in Eau Claire. Heading home after a week of visiting.
A big wait in a small airport. (Eau Claire) The kids were stir-crazy after the drive. 
The ride was out of order, but it helped pass the time for a few minutes.
Bianca LOVES the little purple bear that Grandpa gave her. 
The kids were unusually fixated on the safety information cards on the planes. They learned everything you should do no matter what kind of plane crash might occur.
Leaving Eau Claire.
Even Bianca was absorbing the safety info. Afterall, she can read pictures. 
The last of the 4 plane rides. It stretched on into eternity... Ivan finally fell asleep, but Bianca talked the whole way and figeted and made noises and was hungry and talked and talked and figeted...
Bianca was sooo tuckered out from the day of travel she immediately zonked out in the van. Daddy gave her that froo-froo tu-tu as her welcome home gift. Not really sure how or why it ended up on her head like that.
Ivan kicks back for the ride home. His gift from Daddy was a drag racer car that also doubles as a pen. How cool is that? 
Daddy was very happy to see us all, although he did admit a little peace and quiet in the house was a nice change of pace.
Finally back "home" again to my home. We might complain about Texas now and then, but it's where we hang our hats. ;-)
I enjoyed being able to roll around in the soft lawn that never gets chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers sprayed on it. (I came home with the bug bites to prove it!)
Good morning! Let's hurry this picture thing up so I can get to school already.
